Americans aren't "too lazy" to study foreign languages.
We simply have no practical need to do so. This is
because of the sheer size of our country and the cor-
responding lack of proximity to peoples nattering in
other tongues. Hell, we have mere *counties* that are
bigger than a lot of those cute little European nations.


Thank you for your textbook example of WHY the shirt was created in
the first place. Yours is typical of the stereotypical American's
outlook on internation relations and the reason why Americans are
believed to be so ignorant of the outside world.
